In Which Birthday comes Near and I recover from a rough week with woes and scaring moments

Good morning, kind and excellent friend, dear reader of this post. I want to wish you a happy Friday, a happy weekend as well. How are you, today? How has the week been? I hope the weather has been relatively pleasant and not overwhelming. I am at the south of the planet, so it is winter here. What a marvelous season, I adore to just enjoy the more refreshed temperature and the colder weather, as cold as the tropics would allow to go. I am okay, happy the blog is reinstated, feeling concerned and worried it may be taken out again for whatever reason I am not aware of. This incident caused me to be even more skeptical and weary of Google. I have been mentioning the moderation AI issue, but not as a way to sneer the technology, more as a concern on adopting it everywhere with not enough checks and balances. It always strikes me as a too expensive tool that offers not as much in return. And I use Artificial Intelligence on daily affairs quite a bit, for a number of reasons, still I think ...

Song of the week! In which we wish we could turn back in time

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you!!! As you know, time for song of the week! Wow, can't believe we're already on August 17, the month of August is going fast, I think! Soon the summer will be back, but at this point it doesn't make a difference, it's hot just like it was summer already!
So, today we'll be seeing one of my favorites by Cher, that musical chamaleon! It's not only one of my favorites, but also at this point one cultural classic! Yes, if you saw the title of this post you probably already guessed what tune I'm talking about! If I Could Turn Back Time, of her Heart of Stone album of 1989!!



Cher is definitely an icon that spreads through so many musical genres! In this particular one, on her rock period, she gave us a powerful song on asking for forgiveness and how words we say can impact a relationship in bad ways. Guess we all had those moments, like she say in the song "words are like weapons, they wound sometimes", something we heard time and time again, and at some levels became a clichĂ©, but a very truthful one. Unfortunately we can't go back in time -yet- BUT that doesn't mean we can't wish for it and sing about it, am I right?? Also, her whole outfit for this song and this period of her career became iconic, she's indeed a fashion icon as well! If you don't have Spotify do not worry, I have the Youtube link right here with me!

This very nice song and this very nice artist is what we have for today!! I'm so happy to be here! Hope you enjoyed it as well!! See you next time!!
